Though we initially planned to work only in one village during the pilot year, the Uganda Wildlife Authority pointed out the Isunga Parish as placing heavy pressures on the park. About 18 kilometers from our base, we travel to Isunga every couple of weeks. The Iruhura Church of Uganda is a beautiful, large building with a large congregation. Planting occured around the church's farm, in an excellent demonstration of how the typical villager can make use of the shrub border technique to make better use of their land and obtain legal firewood.
